The White House is on lockdown after a man shot himself at the North Lawn.

The shooting happened at around noon on Saturday and sparked panic inside as staff were told to shelter in place.

Political journalists sheltered in the briefing room and tweeted first about the breach.

Not long afterwards, the Secret Service said it was a person who had shot themselves.


The president is at Mar-a-Lago for the weekend with the First Lady and Barron.


DC police say it was a man who pulled a gun on himself.

There is not thought to be any outstanding threat.

The president is in Florida.

He played golf on Saturday morning and is pictured returning to Mar-a-Lago afterwards.



Trump was informed about the shooting, according to White House officials, but he carried on tweeting about other subjects

It's just the matter of time but "White House Down" must be taken by foreign or domestic enemies.

Lol....With you bro.


The White House was put in lockdown on Saturday afternoon after a man shot himself dead at the North Lawn.


The shooting happened at around noon and sparked panic inside as staff were told to shelter in place.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.


This is the car police say belonged to him.

They worked at it throughout the afternoon after he was declared dead.


None of the First Family were in the White House at the time but it was still putin lockdown.

The FBI worked at the scene throughout the afternoon. The incident brought traffic to a standstill for a short while

with what I have observed so far I don't they'll ever take gun control seriously even if the white House gets attacked. Those guys have a serious problem.

Imagine someone going this far in protest of the Gun Policy..
He took his own life in the one-man protest.
